ABOUT
ABOUT
All of Fontsainte’s vineyards are situated within the Corbières Boutenac appellation. However, only “Clos du Centurion” takes the appellation on the label; other cuvées take the Corbières appellation
Rigorous pruning along with green harvests keep yields low
Existing vines are pruned in a goblet; new vines are being trellised
Cuves are gravity-fed—a mix of temperature-controlled stainless steel and cement
